When exploding, exploding rockets and combat robot make a BOOM sound. The more objects are affected by the explosion, the louder the sound is (the loudest I had was 100+ group of biters hit by an exploding rocket). So I think this is a problem, and I made a video to show it : https://youtu.be/vIV9vs_Mp5g
So :
- Is everyone getting the same problem, or is it my configuration ?
- Should I make a Bug Reports thread, or a Ideas and Suggestions ?

I don't know if this is really a bug. Sounds are accumulative: 15 * sound at volume 5 will be louder than 1 * sound at volume 5. That's how sounds work.
Two speakers each playing 10 W of sound will be louder than 1 speaker playing 10 W of sound.

Perhaps limit is to 3-4 max_sounds_per_type so that the loudness isn't stacked extremely high, but that more explosions do result in louder explosions

It's the "problem" of everyone. I'd suggest for the devs either remove the sound from those explosions appearing on entity or make a new explosion entity which does not play a sound at all and use that instead.
This is the reason:
For example this rocket projectile:
explosive-rocket
{
type = "projectile",
name = "explosive-rocket",
flags = {"not-on-map"},
acceleration = 0.005,
action =
{
type = "direct",
action_delivery =
{
type = "instant",
target_effects =
{
{
type = "create-entity",
entity_name = "explosion"
},
{
type = "nested-result",
action =
{
type = "area",
perimeter = 6.5,
action_delivery =
{
type = "instant",
target_effects =
{
{
type = "damage",
damage = {amount = 40, type = "explosion"}
}, {
type = "create-entity",
entity_name = "explosion"
}
}
}
},
}
}
}
},

Yes, if you are adding sound sources. 5 rockets are louder than 1 rocket.
The problem is trees are not the source of the explosion, so 5 trees should not be louder than 1 tree.

I think both of you misread the post. There is just one explosion

The only thing that explodes is the rocket. The other things are destroyed by the explosion, but they do not explode themselves (unless they are explosive too) :
Biters, trees, rocks, ... are not explosives, so they should not generate explosion sound.

Fixed in 0.13.0 by limiting the number of explosions that can be played at the same time
